Helen began this chapter by expressing her joy in having a variety of wonderful friends. She explained that some of them were famous and some were not. She mentioned that she "dislike[d] people who try to talk down to [her] understanding." Helen then went on to describe some of the different types of people who she called friends or had met. She shared her thoughts and feelings about God. Many of those beliefs were influenced by Bishop Brooks. He taught her that "God is love."
